Follow on Google News | San Diego Bay Parade of Lights Brings Holiday Cheer to Bayfront December 8 & 15By: San Diego Bay Parade of Lights Presented by the San Diego Unified Port District (http://www.portofsandiego.org/) A wide variety of awards are presented to the best dressed boats and those that best capture the event’s theme. All participants receive a participant plaque and are invited to the awards dinner on January 9, 2014, where a wide variety of prizes will be raffled off. This year, the grand prize is a seven-day Caribbean cruise for two with Star Clippers (http://www.starclippers.com/ Beginning at 5:30 p.m. each night, the parade slowly navigates west from Shelter Island past Harbor Island, then south along the Embarcadero and Seaport Village before turning back north to pass the Ferry Landing in Coronado. The parade takes about two hours to pass any given point and there are many comfortable waterfront viewpoints along the route. A map of the route is available on our website to make it easy to find your preferred viewing spot. Due to increased traffic and parking demand, observers are encouraged to plan ahead or take the trolley to the event. For added insight into the participating boats, viewers can watch the parade from near the announcer’s area, just north of the Maritime Museum on the Embarcadero. As each boat passes this viewing point, the announcer offers a brief history and description of the vessel. Panels of judges are stationed at two points along the parade route, at the Maritime Museum and on the docks at Peohe’s restaurant in Coronado. Participating boats must pass both sets of judges to be eligible for prizes. Boat owners interested in participating in this year’s San Diego Bay Parade of Lights can submit the registration form and the $40 entry fee online at www.sdparadeoflights.org. Participants can also download the form and submit payment and registration to the Bali Hai Restaurant at 2230 Shelter Island Drive. The fee covers both evenings, and watercraft of all sizes are encouraged to participate. For more information and parade details, visit www.sdparadeoflights.org. End
